Xbox 360's Video Marketplace Is Now Open

The videos are divided among TV, movies, music videos, clips, and game videos. From these selections, videos can then be organized by studio, download rank, etc. Not all videos are available in HD, but a handy "HD Available" image is attached to all videos that do, so you won't have to go all the way to the download screen to find out. You can also prieview the content in a small window with sound. Movies are available to watch 14 days after purchase, or 24 hours after selecting the "play" option. As for pricing, TV shows are 160 points ($2) for standard definition and 240 points ($3) for high definition regardless of length. Older movies run 240 points ($3) for standard definition and 360 points ($4.50) for HD. New movies, on the other hand, are 320 points ($4) for SD and 480 points ($6) for HD.
